Midlothian / Re: Stow MI, Midlothian at SGS premises LUMSDEN
« on: Wednesday 16 November 11 09:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

My Lumsden ancestors lived in Stow parish from 1700s  to early 1900s.   The Borders Family History Society have now transcribed all stones at Stow but I think it willbe some time before they are published.   I have a list of all burials in Stow 1820-1854 and have all the transcriptions for all Lumsdens which I did a number of years ago plus photographs - some are now broken or not so clear.   If you can give me an idea of their names and dates I will be glad to help and it would be interesting to know which line you are researching - they start from James Lumsden & Marion Thin(e) when they arrived in Stow Parish in 1768 and before.   There are a lot of families descended from them but only two or three which I lost so maybe your ancestor is one of them.

Cheers
Anne

Peeblesshire / Re: SANDERSON - Romanno Bridge, Newlands c1800

Hi

I am researching Sandersons in Peeblesshire and have a copy of William's will as he was a trustee for one of my Sandersons.   In his will he left money  to his brothers and sisters families and does not appear to have had any family - He left £8,417 and ther was a further inventory later.   I am presuming you have his death certificate.   He died in Edinburgh and may be buried there and there may be a stone.  If you are still looking for more info I will look at my notes and can send them to you.

Dumfriesshire / Re: help with burials please
« on: Monday 23 November 09 17:59 GMT (UK)  »
Have just found Andrew Rodger in 1871 census at Puslinch, Wellington South, Ontario with son Robert and daughter Joann and a James Leith Rogers but do not know who he can be! as son James was in Scotland - also his son Rutherford with wife and family including a dau named Violet.   Andrew is marked as married so obviously took family to canada for a better life.   Found his death at same place on 14 October 1872 stated married (as Violet did not die until 1887)and Farmer but by this time parents weren't on DCs in Canada.     So will not be able to know who his parents are.   I do have a database of all Rodgers in he Borders but it is difficult to join up back in the 1700s.    The only hope is that on of his descendents will know.    I have all his family so maybe should post this on notice boards although you may have already done so.

Cheers

Have just seen your message of a few years ago re Andrew Rodger as I'm trying to get further back and am trying all Rodger links as in my tree I am back to 1700's and maybe find that all these other Rodgers had the same parents.   I am presuming that you are a descendent  of Andrew and Violet - you probably have all the info now but there are no records of burials for Canonbie before 1899 and the the publication re headstones is only up to 1855. The stone in Canonbie churchyard for his daughter-in-law Jane Armstrong is there - died 1904 and states wife of James Rodger, Todhillwood - he died in 1888.   Some of Andrew and Violet's family went abroad - New Zealand I think and I wondered if Andrew had went there.   I am waiting for a plan of canonbie and will be visiting their in the spring to look to see if there are any other stones.
